THE BEST SITE FOR QUOTES TO FAX TO SENATORS

http://www.nationofhate.com/quotes.htm

I sent them this one with a message of FILIBUSTER ALITO or SURRENDER DEMOCRACY:

Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will. Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.

-- Frederick Douglass, August 4, 1857

One of the best quotes pages ever, and VERY timely!

Good for inspiration in this dark hour as well.

4. Awesome site! Thanks!
My fav:
"It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. We hold this prudent jealousy to be the first duty of citizens and one of the noblest characteristics of the late Revolution. The freemen of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise and entangled the question in precedents. They saw all the consequences in the principle, and they avoided the consequences by denying the principle. We revere this lesson too much ... to forget it."

-- James Madison.
